Re: "superblock last write time is in the future" on boot




The problem is that the newest version of e2fsprogs fixed some problems
which revealed new ones. It has to do with the fact that the local time

is set after the disk is mounted. So if you clock is not on UT, you are
in
trouble. Thre possibilities to fix:

1. downgrade e2fsprogs (and e2fslibs)
2. set hardware clock to UT and change /etc/defaut/rcS so that
system know that hardware clock is on UT
3. change the boot sequence by modifying symbolic links from
/ets/init.d/ to /etc/rc? so that the clock is set before
the partitions are mounted (I do not think this will work for root
partition thogh)
